Yep..Google moved their translation tech to neural machine learning in 2016 then very shortly after to the transformer model that LLMs use.  They have effectively been using LLMs for translation for the past 10 years.

I did cringe a little though when the two lead writers introduced themselves and said that God of war 2018 was the first God of war they played. The fans are all talking about how Faye might encounter the Greek gods Kratos killed and here I wonder how much the writers will even care for the Greek stuff.
The Valhalla DLC was pretty good and handled most of the Greek stuff really well imo. I just don't expect there to be massive retcons or inconsistencies when the OG director of God of War 2 is overseeing the day to day on the creative side. Even if the dialogue is cringe and Marvel-esque like Veilguard was, the established lore and worldbuilding should be a pretty consistent thing, unlike Veilguard.

sometimes I think about this kind of thing in the context of Morte the talking skull from Planescape Torment, like should I have despised him because he's a quippy talking inanimate object, is he just Forspoken's Cuff

and the answer is

no because writers were actually good back then and also he wasn't terribly invasive or whedonesque, get fucked

The disparity between Jordan and Rankin is too big, especially in the Atlanta metro area where Rankin did like many points better than Jordan. And I also just saw this in another non-partisan race which points to more evidence of this where "Fatima" outperformed the Democrat named "Will" by 20%.

JCreasy, post: 155821537, member: 12865 wrote:I have to admit to feeling an immense sense of relief seeing the reveal for God of War Laufey.



For years, I've quietly championed the idea of Santa Monica Studio breaking away from their established formula and launching a completely fresh IP. My reasoning was simple: I wanted to see the studio forced outside of its comfort zone, pushed to architect entirely new combat systems and character models from scratch. While the mechanical depth of the modern God of War titles has always been stellar, the visual and thematic baggage of Kratos has always held the franchise back for me. The character design is a rigid product of the early 2000s, and finding out over the years that David Jaffe's visual inspiration for Kratos was heavily drawn from Edward Norton's neo-Nazi character in American History X kinda soured the design for me. Combine that with Jaffe's increasingly unhinged, creepy online persona, and I was more than ready for SMS to leave that era behind, spread their wings, and build a new legacy.

What we're seeing with this new direction achieves exactly what I hoped a new IP would, even while maintaining a tether to the broader universe. From a technical standpoint, the character model for Faye represents a massive paradigm shift. Early in generation 9, I found myself constantly criticizing developers for failing to fully embrace strand-based hair grooms. This trailer finally delivers on that front. The main character features what is easily the most sophisticated real-time hair rendering in the medium right now. It is a masterclass not just in physics, collision, and procedural movement, but in light interaction. The way individual strands behave under complex lighting conditions, utilizing advanced subsurface scattering and anisotropic shading, is genuinely astounding. Her facial fidelity and micro-expressions speak volumes about the sheer density of the deformation rigs they are using. Even if Kratos makes a mandatory cameo, Faye looks and moves like a generational leap beyond him, because she structurally is.

The mechanical overhaul looks equally transformative. The combat engine appears to be built on an entirely distinct framework, offering a completely fresh gameplay loop that breaks away from the leviathan axe and blades paradigm. It fulfills my desire for structural innovation while managing to stay anchored in the lore.

Unfortunately, looking at the wider reception, the state of online discourse surrounding these reveals has become incredibly exhausting. It goes far beyond the standard toxic content creators we are all familiar with. It is well-documented that foreign troll farms actively target hobbyist spaces, injecting bad-faith arguments into discussions about sports, cinema, and gaming to weaponize culture wars and sew division. While healthy critique is part of gaming and sure, not everyone has to love what's happening here, the sheer volume of coordinated, bad-faith accounts operating across social media makes organic, nuanced discussion nearly impossible. Ugh.

As an incredibly picky gamer who prioritizes technical execution, it is profoundly obvious to me that God of War Laufey is a landmark achievement for the studio. Santa Monica has finally delivered a project that feels completely decoupled from cross-gen constraints and early 2000s design ethos. They have channeled their engineering talent into a true, uncompromising current-gen showcase, and I am incredibly excited to see how it plays when it drops.

The love for companies

Girlslaff

These people aren't for real.

God these disingenuous morons. "God of War" has ALWAYS been closely tied to Kratos himself. So yeah, a god of war game starring a side character we barely know about, will NOT immediately feel like "God of War."

I don't think the game looks bad at all, but come on, hearing "God of War" paints an image of Kratos: a big buff manly man slaying gods with his masculine rage. It's not fucking "sexist" or "chud" to think that.

My fucking word, it’s humour so no wonder it flies completely over these idiots heads.

https://mexicobusiness.news/tech/news/sheinbaum-cancels-8-tax-violent-video-games

Genius.

Quote:The decision responds to the operational complexity of segmenting software catalogs under punitive content criteria. “That tax will no longer be charged,” states President Claudia Sheinbaum. “It is very difficult to distinguish between a video game that contains violence and one that does not. So, who is going to determine that? We made the decision not to charge it and instead to run campaigns targeting young people and teenagers about where these types of [violent] games can lead you."

To Titanfall2.
